June 2023 Deliveries

[Winterfell]

Ha, yes I totally get that. The assembly line doesn't seem to be Porsche's problem. It's other logistics and use of non-differentiating components that aren't working. Those issues should be even EASIER to solve because it's not mass produced.

It is much more complex then you think. For example the entire cabling for the Taycan is/was produced in Ukraine, because of the war, production capacity was slammed and needed to be built up again. Finding a new supplier with capacity which has to setup the tooling for production with specific quality requirements is a challenge.

Tesla faces the same issues, certain customers which made a$50k reservation payment are still waiting for their Tesla Roadster.

it is not as easy as one would think or hope.

haha some people made $250k reservations for the founders edition.

honestly look in this group and a lot of people who bought new waited 1-2 years. 6 months is nothing.

Anyone have any idea why my Taycan has been sitting at the Houston port for 3 weeks? I had a delivery date of May 22 in Denver but the car hasn't moved from Houston since May 17th. Recall?

Have you checked with your SA? Someone posted that their car has been at the port for over 2 months..... mostly the recall/ stop sale.

lwc1001 - I have and with the showroom manager. They are both very honest about the company not sharing anything with them about why the car is being held up. What is the stop sale all about? Haven't heard of that.

there is a whole thread about the stop sale

my car is arriving to the port tonight, i reached out to my SA on 5/25, he said no news is good news. I'll check in with him once it arrives at the port to see if he has an ETA for me. TYD shows pick up 6/10 but i'm sure thats not happening

I'm on the same boat; Based upon predicted lag, earliest is June 19th, then whatever else it takes based upon potential Stop Sale. I don't think they'll really know until it's actually at the dealer. Mine finished manufacture on March 28th, so hoping nothing much is left for a hold.

TYD shows 6 days between arriving at port to arriving at dealership. My guess is earliest for me will be 6/15 at dealership. My car finished manufacturing on 4/6

My car left the port of Baltimore, and supposedly showing up at the dealer tomorrow. SA says there doesn't seem to be any blocks.

My timeline:

GTS Sport Turismo
Build started: 4/3
At the Port: 4/13
Left the Port: 5/12 (so sat for 4 weeks)
Arrived in Baltimore: 5/26
Left Baltimore: 6/7

Placed my deposit to get an allocation early November 2021, so been around 20 months. Here's to hoping its worth it!

Mine arrived at Baltimore same day as yours, was expected to leave on 5/30 but last minute TYD updated to 6/14. Good to see yours left port to dealer, so hoping for next week. SA has no news and said all we can do is wait.

Spoke to my dealer last week, car was delayed until July. Update this morning to say it is on a boat to Sheerness and will be available at the dealership before the end of June

My Porsche app still at phase 3... Not sure it is appropriate to get excited about this sort of thing at my age but this is a big purchase, both financially and also betting on future of electrified transportation...

Shame Porsche are not more reliable in keeping you engaged with them on that process on the way through..

What dealer are you with (notice your profile is Southern UK). I'm struggling to get any concrete info from my dealer ref boats etc. I'm at Stage 5 on the app and he's been saying "hopefully arrive with us this week" for almost 3 weeks.

I've had £116k sat in a 0.75% account for a month where I can't get any more accurate info - could have locked away at 3% for a month! First world problem I know but this is a huge purchase. There was me thinking property purchases were hard work!

Mayfair... went with them on the basis that they are a part of Porsche GB as opposed to a franchised dealdership and get better allocations. I think they likely work less hard because their treasured location means they canget away with that. My sales agent is a very decent guy, but comms are infrequent. The My Porsche platform just doesnt seem to provide anything like a reliable indicator of what actual progress is occuring.

My role is in engagement and client service within multinational, corprate financial services. If i kept clients in the dark to this degree I'd quickly be out of a job. This is a huge purchase for me (and, like you I've got funds waiting in a liquid account earning half of chuff-all...) and Porsche just don't feel particularly keen to tie you in..

In a modern world where brands spend so much time and energy on actually building their brands, gaining customer confidence and trust, trading through cycles etc etc, it feels a little dissonant

Anyway, rant over, it is a proper first world problem and I probably need to get over myself...!!
